Global oil demand to drop 1.6 million barrels/day in 2026 amid Strait of Hormuz tensions

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has raised its forecast for the decline in global oil demand in 2026 to 1.6 million barrels per day, up from the previous estimate of nearly 1 million barrels. This sharper drop is driven by ongoing high fuel prices and disruptions caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route. Despite some diplomatic signals, no agreement has been reached to reopen the Strait, prolonging supply concerns and price volatility. Brent crude prices have fluctuated significantly, recently trading near $90 a barrel, reflecting the uncertainty in global oil markets.
